Default will a mail order tune suit my needs

ok.... here we go.

what i have done thus far in my sig.

the thing is my tags are due in a month and i cant pass emissions right know with my engine light on.
it is on because my rear o2 sensors are not connected. i need those to be removed so i can pass emissions.

pluse i had my tune looked at box tune is way way to conservative. and my afr is stupid rich

just wondering if justin at blackbear could mail a tune that would work. or anyone for that matter.

I have had mail order tunes from Both Wheatley and Blackbear and was happy with the results. It's impossible for them to get it spot on the first time without them having the truck there, but I am sure they will work with you to fine tune it if you send them a log after you get the first tune.That's what Justin did for me earlier this year. I still don't have mine sorted though, but that's my fault, cause I'm always changing **** and haven't gotten back to Justin with a log since. I would say if you send either of them a log and your current tune, they will find a way to improve it.

I agree, it will be worth it, and with Justin's scan cable/logging tune he can get it spot on for you

yeah the last time i check for that there was a waiting list for the cable backed up like 12 weeks or something. i don't have the time for that.
i guess i could do some data logging and send it to justin and see what he can do.
anyone got justins email so i can get in touch with him. i have sent a couple to blackbear but i think its there sec sending them back with info that is just copy and pasted from there website.

Wheatley has the cable now also to log runs, he has had it for a while. Thats the way to go, but he had mine pretty dang good with just a mail order.
